Introduction

Nicotine is the reason for tobacco smoking. Nicotine replacement therapy uses nicotine to replace tobacco smoking. Nicorette Nicotine Lozenge is one of the nicotine replacement therapies and is a tablet specially formulated with nicotine. When placing the lozenge in the mouth, it allows nicotine to dissolve slowly, pass through the mucus of the mouth and enter into the blood, delivering a steady stream of therapeutic nicotine that helps reduce smoker’s cravings for cigarettes, thus assists in stopping smoking.

I used the lozenges and they do work. You have to be careful to not get addicted. These things are best for people who seriously want to quilt and a counseling or online support group would be helpful too. If you want to quit smoking these lozenges can help. Good info here

Hi David, Thanks for sharing your experience. It is good idea to counsel quit smoking expert before you start the program. Most of the counseling program are free, providing phone counsel or online short courses. To avoid addiction, follow the program procedure, reduce the Lozenge amount gradually and finally stop use the Lozenge.

Very good article. I like how you state that the smoker must have a strong desire to quit smoking because without that, no product can help with cessation.

How do you feel about these vs. vaping products? Currently I am a vape user and I love it! It’s nothing like smoking and is way more safe for overall health and really does aid in cessation. What are your thoughts?

Hi Michael, Thanks for sharing your experience and comments. You are right that Lozenge usage is totally controlled by smokers who need determination to quit. It is essential that smoker have pre-determined plan and follow the plan accordingly.
Vaping products are nice products. They are much safer than the tobacco smoking and they feel, look, and taste like a cigarette. Based on the current data, it is fine for smokers to enjoy smoking this way.

Great information! What does happen if someone is taking the lozenges and then smokes? Would this make you sick or it just won’t work? I think this is an expensive alternative for those that don’t want to get a prescription or cannot take a specific prescription. If this program is 12 weeks, that would be close to $300 vs. your copay on a prescription medication.

Hi Tiffany, Thanks for your comment. It is fine if someone use lozenge and cigarette in the same time. If use both, try best to stop use of cigarette and continue lozenge. It is relatively expensive program, but GSK occasionally has discount on the lozenge and try to find program that save money.

Hi Anthony, I’m sure the nicotine lozenge is effective but as you have rightly said, smokers need to have strong motivation to quit smoking. The psychological barrier is possibly the toughest to break.

Have you thought about vaping as an alternative means to break the habit? This trend seems to becoming more popular.

Hi Abdusalam, Thanks for your comments. You are right that will-power is number factor to quit smoking. In order to achieve success in quitting smoking, the smokers must have determination to do so. There is program called Manifestation Miracle training human mind to manifest effectively, https://rebrandsmoking.com/10-gifts-for-cigarette-smokers. This could be the good starting point.
Vape is a alternative mean of smoking. Based on current knowledge, it is safe to use it. Since it contains nicotine and it looks, feels, and tastes like a cigarette, it is nice way to enjoy smoking, but may not good way to quit smoking.
